!! OMGaga: The Lady's NYE !!

Courtesy of Lady Gaga's New Year's Eve midnight tweet, we now know the official release date for her next album, Born This Way. The album hits stores -- and iTunes, obvi -- on May 23, but the first single comes out Feb. 13, the night of the Grammy's and just one day before Valentine's Day. Thanks in advance for the love, Gaga <3

While Page Six reports that the Lady called it an early night after dinning with boyfriend Luc Carl at New York tapas bar Caliu, I have it on good authority that the couple then made their way to Lower East Side bar St. Jerome's, where she rang in 2011. While Gaga said the butt-tastic photo she tweeted is NOT the album cover, it still hints at a possible unicorn theme, which only seems appropriate given that gays, Gaga and unicorns all share a glittery, magical status.
